Boy drops DS in gorilla cage Nintendo launched the DSi XL with the purpose of attracting elderly consumers with bad vision, gamers who sought a portable reading device, and people who wanted to play with the handheld in social settings. But there's a new market segment that also seems interested - gorillas. So this little boy was just walking around the San Francisco zoo, doing what every boy who is dragged to the zoo tends to do - play video games - when he accidentally dropped his DSi XL into the gorilla habitat. And wouldn't you know it, a professional photographer happened to be right there. Above: Parents take note: THIS is how to keep your kid from playing the wrong kind of games. Still photos and video capture a large gorilla that found the DSi, picked it up and started trying to figure out how the darn thing worked. After reportedly being unable to figure out the confusing friend code system, the gorilla knocked it around and eventually lost interest. Source: Spicuzza Photo Today blog via The Escapist
